I've read in several threads recently that people wanted tire X, but they only had one in stock, so they purchased two of tire y.
Is there any reason (besides cosmetics) to have the same kind of tire on the front and back?

Absolutely no reason. Mismatched tires are just fine. But you will get style points deducted.

Too bad style points can't make up for my lack of speed.
